"On the Tub wrench.....will the generic Maytag "Spanner Wrench" that's so readily available on eBay and such work for what I need to do? It seems like the common one with the 4-star looking thing is what I need....I'm not sure of the size though, so I figure I'll check before I buy."

Yep, that's the one.

"Set screw"??

Set Screwed!

Oops, sorry, not for the basket removal - there is one in the stem & seal assy.
(which probably should be replaced if going that far into the tub.)

I was probably still reeling over Jindal blabbering about Katrina! HAHAHAHAHA!

What do you mean by ''Its not the bakelite agitator'' the one you busted off wasnt a bakelite?

Maytag Agitator

The blue Power-Fin agitators and the later white ones are polypropylene, on MT washers all Bakelite agitators are either black or on early models they were red, Note after 1969 MT also switched their black agitators to polypropylene.

Actually, according to the Sept. 1964 issue of "Let's Talk Service" the BLACK polypropylene agitator replaced the bakelite ones at about that time.
